    Considering the list of countries and the fact that interpreters are standard at events like this, not an issue. So how is Spain a joke again?

    Edit: oh it’s you again.

      It seems to me that not being able to speak other languages tells you something about the level of education and breadth of knowledge of a person or at least about their open mindedness or lack of thereof.

        I know most of the world is multilingual but only knowing one language isn’t the sign of a lack of education.

        In fact judging someone for not know how to speak another language is eliteism.
